Glidden Plays Bruch

This program offers a satisfying arc from the new to the beloved. BPO Associate concertmaster Amy Glidden joins JoAnn Falletta for Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, a Romantic favorite filled with lyricism, drama, and heart. You will also hear a world premiere, Jonathan Leshnoff’s Symphony No. 5, bringing a contemporary voice into conversation with masterworks. The evening closes with Brahms’s Second Symphony, warm, luminous, and richly crafted. It is a concert that rewards deep listening and leaves you feeling grounded.
